BUSINESS FAILURES.
The Columbian State Bank, of
Philadelphia,
Makes an Assignment for the
Benefit of Its Creditors.
A Follower of Russell Sage
Goes to the Wall.
A Bursted Bank.

PHILADELPHIA. Jdly 3O.-The Colum-
ban bank, a state institution, closed its
doors this morning, and on the door a no.
tice was posted stating that by order of
the board of directors the bank would
make an assignment for the benefit of its
creditors. AT noon another notice was
issued saying the assignment had been
made to S. Edwin Megargee and f. p.
Herman, two attorneys. All efforts to OBJ
tain any statement as to the amount of
the liabilities or assets proved futile, both
the bank officials and the assignees de-
claring that they had not time to inquire
into the condition of affairs as yet. 1t is
believed, however, the failure is a com
plete one.
1t is understood from reliable sources
that the chief causes of the failure were
heavy advances made on drafts of the
Ives StaYner party, of New York, and
advances made on consignments of mer-
chandise shipped from South America
and other points, which were not taken
up by the consignees, thus leaving the
bank in a crippled condition.
AT $50 p. m. it was stated by the Off
Gals they would not issue a statement to-
day, it being impossible to get matters in
shape to do it. Among the banks assets
are bonds and stocks put down at Sl33,-
600, but their market value is very doubt

Blaine Friendly to Sherman.

TOLEDO, July 3O.-During the Repub-
lican state convention here the report was
telegraphed out by special correspondents

dorsement was withdrawn because of a
telegram from Representative Boutelle, of

asking an endorsement of Senator Sher-
mans presidential candidacy at the Ohio

prior to his departure to Europe by a
prominent gentleman of this state, and
that Mr.. Blaine expressed a lively hope
that the endorsement should be given
and declared hat Ohio owed 1t to the sen-
atOr.

WASHINGTON, July 3O.-In the case of
Thomas f. Watson, of Washington Ter
ritory, in which is involved the question
of the rights of settlers upon school lands
in territories, Assistant Secretary MUD
row has decided that, under the act grant
ing to territories lands for school pur-
poses, where the land at the date of sur
vey is occupied by an actual settler. his
right to the land is superior to the right
of the territory, and that where the
school lands at the date of survey are oc.
cupied by an actual settler the territory is
entitled to select equivalent lands in lieu
thereof as indemnity, and having made
such selection, the indemnity land so
selected is held in reservation in lieu OF
the school section upon which such select
ion was made, and the school section by
the act of such selection is excluded Of
reservation, and therefore an entry of a
school section made while the selection OF
equivalent land remain intact, was valid.

Harry Powers Fails.

NEW York, July 3O.-The selling
yesterday which caused heavy liquidation
in the afternoon developed into a panic at
the opening ofthe exchange this morning
and stocks were held at any sacrifice, the
only object of the brokers seeming to be
the closing of accounts of ruined specu-
lators. The greater cause OF the decline
was the non-appearance of Harry Powers,
who took the place of Russell Sage as the
leading writer of privileges on the street.
His business was large and operators held
his puts and calls as security against their
stock. At the office of Gould & Henry,
who do most of Powers stock exchange
business, no statement could be obtained,
although attaches admitted Powers was
embarrassed, but would probably come
out all right and settle everything in full.

reported that Bishop Laughlin, of Brook,
Ign, has been ordered to Rome to explain
why he is disobeying Il papal mandate.
The bishop declines to deny that he has
received such an order. The trouble was
caused by the removal of Father Grim
mons, pastor of the Williamsburg church,
several years ago, and Bishop Laughlin's
d~isobedience consisted in a refusal to rein
state the priest when he was ordered to
do so by the vatican.

experience while the train was be-
low the Dalles. A gentleman in
Southern Oregon having captured a
California lion alive, Gagged the beast
and shipped him to a friend in the

the beast managed to escape from
his cage, and the interesting scene

the lion apparently endeavoring to
cage the man. BY the vigorous use
of long pole, and the exercise of
the messengers full powers of pro-
family, the beast was again driven
into his cage.

A bench warrant was placed in
the hands of Sheriff Hastings OF
this county, during the July term OF
court at this place, for the arrest OF
one William Vickers, who stabbed
a man on Reynolds creek about a
year ago, and whom it is alleged
was engaged in other unlawful acts
in that section of country. Vickers
was supposed to be in the vicinity
of the Stein Mountains and the
Sheriff picked upon George Dun
ming of this county as the right man
to hunt Vickers up and arrest him.
Mr.. Dunning realized fully the
chances he had to take and consent
ed to do so, and armed with Colts
As revolver, set out on the 9Th of
August alone in search Of the man
who had been a terror to Eastern
Oregon and this part of the country.
On the 10th inst, he arrived at the
ranch Of Mr.. Shirk in Grant county,
Oregon, and on the 18th departed
for the Buttes, distant about 25
miles, where roundup was being
held, and where he arrived the same
day. He learned that Vickers was
at the ranch of one Hearn, some
distance from the rodeo ground.
He borrowed a Winchester and
started for the ranch aud fonnd
Vickers in a hay stack in bed with
two other men. He waited patient
ly for daylight to come, and when
Vickers opened his ewes Dunning
told him 10 throw up his hands,
bringing his gun to a horizontal
position at the same time. This
Vickers did without delay Dun
ming then ordered a young man who
was sleeping with his prisoner to
put a pair of handouts on Vickers.
Vickers objected and bluffed the
young man. Dunning then told
another man to put them on him,
and after vigorous objection by
Dunning finally put the handouts
on the prisoner. While waiting for
breakfast they went in and out of
the house several times. The last
time they went in Vickers was
ahead of Dunning, as he had done
several times before, but this time
several women and children filled
ihe door. AS Vickers went in an
associate handed him six shooter
With his left hand at the same time
he fired at Dunning. Vickers then
ired which was returned by Dun
1ing with two shots. Vickers and
